First Due Recognized on Inc. 5000 List as Fastest-Growing Fire and EMS Software Company
NEW YORK, August, 2024 – First Due is proud to announce its inclusion on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list, marking its third consecutive year as the fastest-growing fire and EMS software company in the United States. With a three-year growth rate of 720%, First Due ranks as the 72nd fastest-growing software company and the 644th fastest-growing company overall, joining the ranks of other innovative American businesses committed to addressing the nation’s most complex challenges.
Since its founding in 2016, First Due has emerged as a leader in the fire and EMS technology sector across North America. CEO and Co-Founder Andreas Huber attributes the company’s continued success to its innovative approach to building a suite of best-of-breed products for the space. "Of all the industries out there, who deserves great software more than our first responders? For too long, critical technology for our firefighters, EMS personnel, and their support teams has been more of a hindrance than a help. Our true-cloud, device-agnostic, and incredibly functional platform allows our customers to finally run their entire operation in one place, behind one log-in," Huber stated.
In the past year, First Due has expanded its reach within the public safety sector by increasing its offerings to EMS providers and successfully deploying within divisions of the United States federal government. "Our EMS-focused products have matured to the point where we now have a market leading solution for ambulatory services, just as we have for combination fire and EMS agencies. Furthermore, our FedRAMP High certification has made First Due the solution of choice for federal entities, including the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy," Huber added. "Our goal remains to ensure that all underserved first responders have the tools they need."
Looking ahead, First Due is committed to partnering with its growing customer base to enhance its comprehensive end-to-end software solution. Major initiatives for the coming year include guiding users through the transition from the NFIRS (National Fire Incident Reporting System) standard to the NERIS (National Emergency Response Information System) standard and integrating AI solutions across the application.
First Due’s platform offers first responders a unified solution for managing every aspect of emergency operations and prevention, no matter the size or location of the agency. Through a single login, customers can access best-of-breed modules, including fire incident reporting, ePCR, fire prevention, pre-incident planning, scheduling, personnel management, asset and inventory management, hydrant management, training, community risk reduction, response, incident command, advanced data analytics, payment processing, and more.
